#Tom explains the #Bereitschaftspotential which has been used as an argument against free will. It is actually a technique the LCS uses to prevent "video lag" from occuring in this #VR.

Who Is Still Inside the #Metaverse? Searching for friends in Mark #Zuckerberg’s deserted #fantasyland.

I don’t know the boy’s circumstances or what was going on in his #life. A #tragedy like that can happen anywhere. Still, I can’t help noticing how many of the stories tonight are about being alone — about not getting laid, not talking to the girl, not having someone there when they take off the headset. Seen through the lens of the metaverse, #America looks so huge and so lonely.

Looking at a couple of articles about Meta's plans for more, better VR headsets and their debatable strategy for having them used as routine productivity devices. In short : hardware development looks to be going well, but their business model of failing to provide any new content users actually want to use is pretty daft.

Upload to Steam successful. VR Arecibo now available here : https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2941255839
Resurrecting Arecibo in Virtual Reality
This one's taken up many an evening of late but I'm calling it done. Here's a complete walkthrough of the Arecibo telescope platform in Steam VR Environments, which I'll upload in the next few days. Should be accessible to anyone with a VR headset who can run Steam VR. For those without, the video is pretty complete (which it should be, as it's by some margin the longest video on my channel). Finally the dream of being able to chuck stuff (like, a Skyrim helmet and a bathtub, among other things) off the top of the ~140 m high platform can be realised ! Don't tell me you've seen that before, because you haven't, you lying liar.

looking down the barrel of not a mere 1000 year reich like the nazis promoted, but an everlasting one. we are the people, now, who can avert this dystopian totalitarian nightmare. there are worse things than death. go forth, fearless, loving, aware there are scams to use your love to kill.

Another, much expanded test. This one has a globe and an info panel, which gets me a good chunk of the way forward in terms of what I want to do. LOTS to add and improve, but not nearly so much of a learning curve now.
The Arecibo VR project proceedeth apace.
A lot of work had to be done to fix errors with the meshes. Blender is extremely forgiving with ugly meshes, but Steam (Source) demands cleanliness : normals facing the right way, no double faces or edges on the same vertices, only one UV map per mesh, and various other things. It turns out some the meshes were much more problematic than I thought. Some things just had to be tidied up, a few had to be remodelled, most had to have their textures recalculated.
All this boring stuff is about 90-95% done. There are a few remaining niggles but nothing substantial, with the exception of the wire mesh fences (especially on the catwalk, which currently has no floor). Not quite sure how to handle those since the UV coordinates for the light map and the transparency are different in Blender, which isn't possible in Steam.
Putting that to one side for the moment, I've added some background sound and a teleport mesh. The sound was actually a nightmarish feat of complexity, but only because Steam demands the filename has the prefix "soundscapes" PLURAL and I was using singular. This took several days and online discussions to figure it out before the damn thing finally works, which turns out to be quite easy, at least for continuous ambient background noise.
The teleport mesh shows up in blue when you press a trigger, highlighting parts you can move to. The default is any flat surface but I'd rather users were restricted to exploring the site rather than playing around with a 3D model. The texture on it is currently a bit ugly, I probably need to disable its UV map or something, and it's currently limited to the upper walkway. I made a much larger version which lets you explore all the navigable parts of the site but it didn't like that at all, not sure why yet.
Anyway, here's a little video capture.
